Applying for a residency starts with choosing your specialty. The application for residency includes personal statements, curriculum vitae, letters of recommendation, transcripts and all the other components required by ERAS. This application is then used by the NRMP to match medical students to their residencies. It’s a fairly complex process on a relatively short timeline.
The prezi below was put together to walk medical students through the process – from picking a specialty to matching in the specialty and program which is the best fit for you.
I’d love feedback from anyone if I’ve missed something or could explain this in a better way – please comment below!
Best of luck to the students who are starting this process to match next spring – and thanks to all the faculty, administrator and deans who help them along the way!
